Broad Contemporary Art Museum, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art--page 1 (of 2 pages)

	The Broad has an "H" plan with three stories with two symmetrical wings flanking a glass core. With a facade in unadorned Italian travertine, it has a visual unity with the earlier buildings of LACMA. It is roofed by a saw tooth arrangement of sunshades or solar panels which can generate electricity, which is used to illuminate Urban Light," the public sculpture by Chris Burden at the Wilshire boulevard entrance. See google map for orientation.
